Londonderry motel robbed, charity donation can taken

LONDONDERRY - Police are searching for a man believed to have robbed a local motel and making off with a charity donation can early Wednesday morning.

Londonderry police were summoned to the Sleep Inn on Perkins Road shortly after 4 a.m. after the motel's night manager reported being robbed at gunpoint.

Police Lt. Ryan Kearney said the suspect was described as a black or Hispanic male, between 5'6" and 5'8" in height, and approximately 175 pounds.

The robber was last seen wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, black pants and white sneakers, though a plastic mask covered the lower portion of his face.

Kearney said the thief was said to have used a silver, semi-automatic pistol during the alleged hold-up, taking off in an unknown vehicle after taking an undisclosed amount of money along with a green, plastic Children's Hospital at Dartmouth donation container.

Just five weeks into her new job as the chief executive of the state's largest private employer, Dr. Joanne Conroy faced a chilling crisis.
